INVITATION FROM FLORIDA TECH'S BILL JURGENS

FLORIDA TECH ATHLETIC DIRECTOR BILL JURGENS: I would like to invite you to this Saturday’s second annual Coastal Classic football game against in-state rival University of West Florida Argonauts.

Dear Florida Tech Panther Fans,

I would like to invite you to this Saturday’s second annual Coastal Classic football game against in-state rival University of West Florida Argonauts.

I encourage you to come show your support for the football team, as they battle for the Coastal Classic Trophy at Florida Tech Panther Stadium. If you are unable to attend the game, it will be broadcasted on ESPN 3 as part of this week’s NCAA MI Football Showcase.

Last year, West Florida won the rivalry’s inaugural game. However, this year our Panthers hope to bring the trophy back home.

The Panthers are off to a great start and are 2-0 in the Gulf South Conference, coming off a recent 35-0 shutout against Mississippi College.

In addition to the game on the field, Saturday is also our Military Appreciation Game. Come out and help us honor the men and women who put their lives on the line and fight for our country.

Make sure you come and join the pregame festivities at our tailgate area at the southwest portion of campus, near the Olin Sports Complex. Tailgating begins at 4 p.m. and will include the Panther Prowl that will be led by the Pep Band and Cheerleading squad.

Shuttles will be available to transport fans from the tailgating area to the stadium and back.

Tickets are still available now for the Coastal Classic. You can purchase them online at FloridaTechSports.com or head to the Florida Tech Box Office just outside the Clemente Center.

We appreciate your spirited support of Florida Tech Football. See you at the game Saturday, GO PANTHERS!
